Strategic Insights
Data-driven recommendations for treasury management
ABK Bank's treasury department faced challenges managing currency risk for both the bank and its corporate clients. Traditional FX hedging approaches relied heavily on manual analysis, subjective decision-making, and static hedging policies that couldn't adapt quickly to market changes.
Futurum One's AI-driven FX hedging solution was implemented to transform the bank's approach to currency risk management. The system uses machine learning to analyze market data, economic indicators, and client-specific factors to optimize hedging strategies and execution.
Unlike conventional methods, Futurum One's solution continuously learns from market movements and outcomes, adapting strategies in real-time to improve effectiveness while reducing costs and operational overhead.

Forward Contracts
- • Increase by $10M (3-month)
- • Increase by $5M (6-month)

- • $5M notional (3-month)
- • Expected cost: KWD 135,000
Secondary Recommendation: EUR Exposure
The AI model suggests maintaining current EUR hedging levels due to expected EUR/KWD stability in the coming quarter. Reassess in 30 days as ECB policy becomes clearer.
